Education

College degrees have often been the goal of people looking to find better jobs, stable employment, and increased earnings. However, many times the journey to getting a certificate or degree is not so clear or easy for non-traditional college students, immigrants or working professionals looking to advance themselves. Luckily, CONNECT has programs that can help you advance yourself academically!

CONNECT was very supportive. They helped me do something with myself... Lucia helped me get into school, and I took a healthcare administration certificate.
